Keir Starmer announces he is abolishing NHS England and bringing back the NHS “into democratic control”.
Starmer concludes his speech saying that this decision will put the NHS back at the heart of government “where it belongs”.
Summarised rundown:
Keir Starmer announces the **abolition of NHS England**, bringing healthcare **back under direct government control** to **reduce bureaucracy and improve efficiency**. The move aims to **cut duplication, free up funds for frontline staff, and increase ministerial oversight**. Critics question how it will work in practice and whether job losses will follow.
Well something had to be done. The NHS is becoming a bit of a joke considering how well funded it is, and we don’t want to end up with a privatised system like America has. Guess time will tell if this is the way to do it.
Nhse being abolished means a less independent NHS and more gov control.
It’s not going to reduce beuracracy because those jobs are needed to maintain the nhs. If they do get rid of the jobs, the NHS will become less efficient.
But it will mean that if the gov decides to do something horrible there’s less people in the way to say no
what he’s said and what the bbc have reported is not entirely true. “nhs england” may be dissolved and jobs may be lost, but some of the jobs are needed. teams of people currently working under nhs england are going to be absorbed by dhsc. so what’s been said here is exaggeration.
I have the opinion that NHS England was created to offer a ready-made structure that could be sold to the highest bidder. It was always on the cards that the Tory government would sell everything and anything if it meant that they’d be looked after when political careers were over. Some were looked after while still in the commons.
Time to take it back under government control.
They will just re-badge what is there now and carry on as before but probably with more staff or another expensive quango watching them.
Anything that lying prick Starmer says can’t be trusted. If he told me I was on fire I’d get a second opinion.
Good bold move. Is it the right one? I don’t know, but at least labour are trying something bold that aligns with labour values. I’d rather my government took risks I morally agreed with than never did anything significant at all.
See I’m going to change the argument.
I think we need better health policies and public education. Yes the NHS still needs to be there but we need to reduce the use of it rather than throw more money at it.
We need to be educating the population about nutrition and how to cook meals. We need to be penalising UPFs and pushing raw ingredients. Not taxation (though I do believe the Sugar Tax was a massive positive) but instead encouragement and positive ‘nudging’.
Mental Health patients shouldn’t be using A&E. They should be directed to a different service.
All the elderly people who need routine checks and medications should be on a separate stream to healthy people.
Build effective social care to take people out of hospital.
People act like it’s the running of the NHS that is the issue and not the massive cuts to services, the selling off of departments, and all of these underlying factors that are the cause. If something isn’t running correctly you diagnosed the problem and get rid of the cancer (management/shareholders/politicians) and support the immune system (funding/staff/RnD/infrastructure). This is just a nother way for the government to have more control over the departments they sell off. This is a UKIP ideal, free at the point of access is coming.
